That is super interesting. I'm curious if you'd be interested in sharing more about your .NET experience with OpenTelemetry? There's really not a lot of writing out there, good or bad, about experiences with OTel on .NET

OTEL on .NET has been "meh". I'm considering ripping out all of the metrics components in favor of Prometheus-net.

It's missing basic stuff it should have. For example, .NET auto uses a trace id when returning `Problem` or similar using Activity.Id. The trace id in OTEL is different for whatever reason, which means you have to add a customization in order to match the trace ids.

It doesn't keep track of http codes, routes, etc.

It's lacking basic functionality and outside of tracing is practically useless.
